So easy, 4 big bone-in fatty chops, 2 cans mushroom condensed soup, no water, 2 medium onions
Brown chops first a couple minutes, then just layer them in with onions and smother with soup, whatever spices u like, extra paprika for me
On low for 6-7 hrs depending on your pot, mine is big
Never peek! You lose heat every time, resist! Don't lift the lid, don't argue!
That's it, serve over bed of egg noodles or mashed potatoes on the side, makes its own gravy
Can eat with a plastic fork so tender, yum!

(9,269 posts)I made a similar recipe for crockpot pork chops. 1 can cream of celery (you could use cream of mushroom or chicken), 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 packet onion soup mix. The sour cream gives it a little tang. Last time I used golden onion soup mix (chicken flavored) which I liked better than regular. Great served on rice.

(34,136 posts)Basically the same recipe as the OP, less onion and only one can of soup but with 8 ounces of sour cream. If I feel like it and have any in the pantry, I might throw a can of mushrooms in.
This also works with chicken breasts or thighs - and with either pork or chicken, Cream of Mushroom, Golden Mushroom, Cream of Celery, or Cream of Chicken work well. I just throw in whichever I feel like that's in the pantry. I also put some herbs in depending on the meat, or just get lazy and sprinkle in the Kirkland's No-Salt Seasoning Blend.
I've cooked this combo in the oven, microwave, or crock pot. Since I'm thinking of getting an instant pot, I'll try it with that for a faster meal.

So I only would do that once in a great while.
It does sound good, though.

(34,136 posts)In fact, that is the only kind of pork chop I get anymore. I buy a full loin and slice it into whatever I want - fat or thin chops, small roasts, and the thin end gets cut into strips for stir fry. Since pork loins go on sale for less than $2 a pound every so often I watch for those sales and stock up on pork in my freezer.
I buy a Boston Butt roast every so often to make slow cooker pulled pork, but since a good sized roast will make a LOT of pulled pork, that only happens two, maybe three times a year.

(28,805 posts)brown the chops, remove from heat, stir in 1 can soup, add water, add chops, cover and cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally. This can be done with or without bones and with thin chops as well. i do prefer chops with the bone in.

(7,636 posts)I've done similar and even added a splash of sherry, which I keep around by the stove since, like Marsala and Madeira, etc., it doesn't really require refrigeration so it's always right there on hand for deglazing and so forth.
That Cream of Mushroom, like the Cream of Celery or Chicken is such a versatile ingredient to have in your arsenal. Someone made mac n cheese with the cream of celery and heavy cream for the liquid in which to melt the cheeses ... and I must say, that was one of the best tasting versions of this ubiquitous American favorite I've ever enjoyed.
Now I gotta go make an omelet or something.

Brown sausage, then just toss it all in the pot, no added water or anything
On low for 4-5 hrs, best party chip dip, ever
(Smaller pot for this one)

(63,221 posts)I would maybe mix the cream of mushroom soup w/ some sour cream and add some chopped fresh mushrooms as well. And I like the addition of paprika, especially if it's the Szeged Hugararian kind. Maybe just a 1/4 to a half tsp. of dijon mustard and some fresh parsley toward the end. Salt and pepper to taste.
I would definitely serve it over slightly buttered egg noodles. Just enough so that they aren't dry. Maybe w/ some fresh parsley as well.
